Three months after launch, Remixlive boasts over half a million active users and that number keeps growing. Now, thanks to Ableton Link, this new update allows users to play in sync with other apps and iOS devices.

Ableton Link integrationAbleton Link is a technology that syncs the beat, phase and tempo of Ableton Live or any Link-enabled iOS app over WiFi. Now available in Remixlive and Cross DJ Pro for iOS, it allows anyone to:• Sync Remixlive with Cross DJ Pro.• Sync Remixlive and/or Cross DJ Pro with any other Link-compatible app.• Sync Remixlive and/or Cross DJ Pro with Ableton Live.All connected apps will automatically play in sync across all devices.

All you need is a WiFi connection and two iOS devices with Remixlive or Cross DJ Pro. It’s at once:• Simple: enable Ableton Link with a single tap.• Intuitive: anyone can join in and play, from experienced musicians to beginners.• Creative: use several apps at the same time to get that jam session feeling.

Play in sync with Cross DJ ProAlongside the new version of Remixlive comes an update of Cross DJ Pro. Like its counterpart, it introduces Ableton Link, taking DJing on iOS to the next level. Thanks to it you can now: • Sync Cross DJ Pro on several devices to mix with friends. • Use Remixlive to add extra loops over tracks playing in Cross DJ Pro.

Other improvements in Remixlive 1.2• Record external audio in Remixlive – from any iOS-compatible microphone or sound card. • New ‘Essential FX’ pack: includes the four extra effects in one package.• Overhauled sample collection – improvements include a search bar, alphabetic sorting, etc.• Rename or delete any sample, including factory samples.• Delete and restore any factory pack.• All new info tab that displays each sample’s instrument, BPM, beats, key, & more.

Other improvements in Cross DJ Pro 3.1• Send audio from Cross DJ Pro to other Audiobus and Inter-App compatible apps.• Automatic switch to dual stereo output mode when a MIDI controller is detected.

As far as I know, Ableton has not released a Link SDK for desktop apps yet. But the fact that Mixvibes has it in both they're iOS apps would lead me to believe they'll be ready to implement it into Cross as soon as they can.

This is a great addition to both apps! Link, AudioBus and InterApp have got to be the most powerful features MV has ever added to either app. The implications of these two updates are HUGE! Support for these technologies will basically future proof the apps for some time. Not to mention how much more UTILITY the apps have. The creative possibilities are very robust now and that will only increase as time goes on.

These updates make both of the apps very compelling b/c now you can plug them into all kinds of software/hardware workflows.This was a very good move on the part of MixVibes and I'm looking forward to seeing this grow.
